Jose Altuve's fourth consecutive All-Star start is all but cemented.

His three fellow infielders are in a battle to join him.

Altuve remained the leading vote-getter among all major league players, Monday's ballot update revealed. The Astros second baseman garnered 3,405,815 votes, joining just the Red Sox's Mookie Betts as the only players to eclipse 3 million.

The Yankees' Gleyber Torres, who sits in second place among American League second baseman, has not eclipsed 1 million votes.

First baseman Yuli Gurriel, third baseman Alex Bregman and shortstop Carlos Correa all sit in second place at their respective positions.

Correa, currently on the disabled list with back soreness, is in the tightest race. He trails Orioles star Manny Machado by 137,081 votes. Gurriel trails White Sox slugger Jose Abreu by 224,153 votes while Jose Ramirez holds a 761,532-vote lead over Bregman.
